One of the things that I resent most about AI is that it makes uncreative people think that THEY created something, so let's normalize reminding these people that they just used a dumb robot to steal someone else's creativity.

@Alice always reminds me of terrible knock off pop culture t shirts you’d get in the 70s in tourist shops.
@Alice I don't like the idea of being mean to people. I think that can drive them deeper in the LLM well. Just to spite the person being a dick to them.
But I can agree with, kindly, not pretending the generated image is their's. And with not commenting in the image's quality. If only to avoid the temptation of putting my frustration on them. And deny the possibility of them getting the unearned compliment they are looking for.
Oh! This woman at work is exactly like that! She walks in to the lunch room with her phone blaring some generic metalcore nonsense and, without being asked, goes "I wrote this. Yeah, AI...." and that's about where I tune out whatever is being said next.
Everything about it is obnoxious
It reminds me of that garbage knockoff Banksy-adjacent guy called Mr. Brainwash who just thought of a bunch of dumb ideas and then had actual artists create it.
And the robot didn't even do a good job, bro.
@Alice Exactly. It’s all so…averaged.
That they don’t get why that feels gross to people indicates they know nothing about art.
@Alice Same with coding.
